UKSG E-RESOURCES FOR FE 2017 – CALL FOR SPEAKERS
AIM HIGHER: FE SUPPORTING THE TRANSITION TO HE
UKSG invites submissions for short presentations to be delivered at the 2017 UKSG
E-Resources for FE event in London on Wednesday 29 November. We would like attendees to consider delivering a presentation, of up to 15 minutes maximum, on an innovative topic in line with the theme of “aiming higher”.
This year’s theme will look at the development of services and the resources provided by libraries and learning resource centres to support students progressing to higher education or for the delivery of higher education in further education.
How are we developing services and the resources we provide to support students progressing to higher education or for higher education courses we deliver? What are library/learning resources staff doing to aim higher?
Examples could include:
• partnerships and joint initiatives between FE and HE library staff
• how you help access students in preparing for HE
• case studies on providing resources for Level 4 and above.
The event will provide delegates with the opportunity to share tips, techniques and strategies that can be integrated into their own service and environment.
How does it work?
Please submit your idea for your presentation as a short abstract (circa 150 words), including your name, organisation and contact email, to: [log in to unmask] by 22 September 2017. The number of speakers will be limited so please get your application in early if you would like to do this. Travel expenses for selected speakers will be covered by UKSG.
Not submitting?
Then save the date! We also want enthusiastic audience members who are happy to join in the discussions, share ideas, develop learning opportunities and leave inspired with practical ideas to improve their service. Booking details will be released in the autumn.
Presentations from last year’s event are available at: https://www.uksg.org/event/FE301116
